The enduring legacy of individualism can be seen in the United States' commitment to protecting civil liberties, fostering a diverse society that celebrates personal freedom and individual expression. Concepts such as the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the protection of minority rights continue to shape the structure of American government, ensuring that no single authority can dominate.

So ask yourself, am I helping push us back into the dark ages as I support collectivist ideas and politicians, or am I fulfilling my actual destiny and working towards ushering in the future where people are free and able to govern themselves?  Do I accept the responsibility that comes with my rights and freedoms or am I giving it all away for the empty promises of petty tyrants?
